Crawford Should Be Replaced?

[Diehardfan]

People that started caring about the Blackhawks in 2010 are the ones that want Crawford replaced.

Crawford would have been an all star last year if it wasn't for the short season. He played well this year before his injury. Kane said Crawford was the MVP of the last championship.

It's a team game.

It is indeed.

No Crawford is fine. He has streaks where he plays poorly. But he's won a cup and with a win last night we may as well say he got us another. He isn't the player to be tampered with. Start looking at releasing zus steeg Bollig and rosi

Zus' contract is up and I'm guessing he'll retire, not sure of Versteeg's situation other than Florida paid most of his salary this year....Rosi still has a year left but may retire....but the real bad news is that the Hawks signed the stiff named Bollig to a new multi-year deal. So that asshole is going nowhere.

There HAS to be a trade market.

Toronto?
Edmonton?
Calgary? SOMEONE has to take him.

Bollig aint going anywhere IMO.... Q likes him, for some reason I cannot figure out..... if Q would play his garbage ass instead of benching him in the playoffs..... in game 7 of the WCF..... **** I saw Q choose to put him out there against Kopitar once last night..... if Q will do that, I seriously doubt they cut or trade him.

Question is, wtf does Q see in Bollig? I mean even if he played up to his ceiling..... what is that? LW on the 3rd line..... checking line?

Wouldn't get your hopes up like that.

I was thinking maybe Tallon in Florida might like him but I think he came along after Dale left so Dale didn't draft him and that's the ONLY reason he might be interested.

Actually I think Crawford's biggest problem was not having a back up goaltender ... Khabibulin wasn't one ... and Raanta -they lost confidence in- at least with a guy like they had in Emery in 2013 -there was a second option in the playoffs if things had turned out that way ... although I know that Quennville habitually only goes with one guy once the playoffs start over the years (and you can't argue much with the results).

Maybe getting a solid backup guy could help share the load more during the regular season.

I think that we had iced the puck, and that is why he was up against the Kopitar line. At least that's what I think happened. We both had a wtf moment when we saw that bromigo.

I was just about to post something about this, good call....there's an old saying "there's a sucker born every minute". Yep, and this one resides in Calgary.

 

[Ares]

Lol good call fisch.... maybe Bowman knew he had to get Bollig away from Q for the good of the team

 

[DMelt36]

Still in disbelief

 

[Ares]

Still in disbelief

That Calgary wanted him? Or do you miss Bollig that much?

And his name is Brian Burke or as Les Shithispants Grobstein calls him Butthead Burke.

Fun with Numbers Part 1 Goaltending


Corey Crawford's season numbers from last year 32-16-10 2.26 .917


Hall of Famer in waiting Martin Brodeur's lifetime numbers 688-394-49 2.24 .912


Dominick Hasek's lifetime 389-223-95 2.20 .922


One could say Crawford had a Hall Of Fame type of season.
